Had a similar convo 2 weeks ago. German college was complaining that even in small towns restaurant prices leave a bad taste.

I hinted that maybe the 30% raise in minimum wages hat something to with it.

She replied “but during covid the Mwst was lowered and then heightened again, so that prices actually didn’t increase at all” 🤡 complete contradiction between two sentences 😂

She is commercial lead at our company 🙃
